I can be a better me than anyone can.

I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.

I really don't think that Detroit was any different than New York of Boston or Philadelphia. Kids always wanted to listen to music outside because that's where they hung out with their friends.
